Find yourself canceling mid-week plans more? Here's why it could be early sign of DEMENTIA
Daily MailIf you're increasingly skipping social plans because you're tired, it could be a sign you're at risk of dementia. A study suggests older people who are sleepy during the day or lack enthusiasm for activities due to fatigue are more likely to develop a syndrome linked to Alzheimer's. The lead author of the study, Dr Victoire Leroy from the of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York said: 'There’s potential that people could get help with their sleep issues and prevent cognitive decline later in life.' Dr Leroy's study included 445 people around age 76 who did not have dementia at the start of the screening. Researchers from Harvard Medical School found that people who slept less than give hours per night were twice as likely to develop dementia than those who slept six to eight hours per night.
